Description

O sweet wind passing over Love's grass
blow in my direction
for the fragrance of Love is my wish
~ Rumi

* ------------------------- *

A place we never fail to visit each trip to England; an area I love to walk along:

At Beachy Head, just west of Eastbourne, England [the tall cliff, which cannot be seen here, is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain .... ; the sad story about this area is that these cliffs are reknowned for their suicides. Beachy Head extends itself 535 feet above sea level. As you walk along the jagged cliff edge, warning signs are posted to take care, interspersed with the odd cross signifying another unfortunate departure from this planet].

This area is a chalk headland, with fierce winds blowing about from the open seas, and the hot summer sun bleaching the dune grasses on this high, open elevation.

Sun , wind and suicides notwithstanding, this is a popular film site. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Living Daylights James Bond film, the television series Luther , David Bowie's music video Ashes to Ashe ... to name but a few of many.

* ------------------------- *

Tall grasses blowing in the breeze, hot warm rays beaming down from above, the aquamarine waters of the ocean glistening in the sunshine, an expanse of blue sky overhead as far as the eye can see .... this is the clifftop of Beachy Head at the height of summertime.
